No agreement has been reached yet and the player is believed to have returned to Bournemouth for the time being amid speculation that Reading are also now interested.

A number of other Championship clubs, including Leicester, Nottingham Forest and QPR, are also understood to be monitoring developments but The Argus understands Albion remain Grabban's preferred destination.

I will be disappointed if Grabban is in the squad tomorrow. He's clearly shown his hand. Can't blame him for wanting to better his career, earn more money and be closer to his family, but to include him tomorrow would be an insult to the other team members. His departure will obviously see us very thin upfront. Maybe Toronto FC would loan us Defoe until their season starts in the summer???!! Mind you, at £90,000 a week, he may be a little beyond our means!!

If Grabbon is still ours, play him. He will do his best for us and continue to work hard. If he goes, then I wish him all the best and hope we sign someone as good. Possibly a great loss but I hope not. Hoping the rain doesn't stop play tomorrow! Up the cherries!!

Every player has the prerogative to take the step up to the next level in their career. Even Eddie did when Harry came calling in the premiership with Pompey. At this moment in time Brighton are in a better position than Boscombe. If Lewis's contract allows him to negotiate a better deal personally, he would be crazy not to look at what's on offer. I hope he stays as I think he will get even better in the forthcoming years. Whatever he decides he's served the club well.

Until Lewis goes to another club he is still AFCB's employee, therefore i would expect him to either start or be on the bench tomorrow as Eddie see's fit. He will still get my full support until he no longer wears the clubs colours and i have no fears that he won't put in a shift while still here. With the clubs mentioned that are supposedly interested in him you can hardly blame him if he wants to talk to them and maybe move on, he is not an AFCB fan he's a professional footballer and he is currently employed by us, if he can get more money and realise his dream of playing in the top division quicker with another club then that's his prerogative, it is a short career after all. Personally i like the lad, think he's come a long way since he joined us and always puts in an honest shift in but if he goes so be it, that's the way it is. Eddie will bring someone else in and life at Dean Court will carry on.

This is the comment I generally agree with most. .Just because you work for one employer does not stop your wishing to look for an “upgrade” in life. Show me the person who wouldn’t. That doesn’t stop the desire to be happy with all connected with the present job and try as hard as you can to deliver. It just means you want to move on to different challenges. I think in football, belonging to a “club” has a sense of hidden meaning that is perceived as being disloyal if someone chooses to leave. Mere mortals who just go to work are not perceived like this perhaps. Grabban is just going to work- perhaps for a different company. That’s all. Good luck to him.

Until Lewis goes to another club he is still AFCB's employee, therefore i would expect him to either start or be on the bench tomorrow as Eddie see's fit. He will still get my full support until he no longer wears the clubs colours and i have no fears that he won't put in a shift while still here. With the clubs mentioned that are supposedly interested in him you can hardly blame him if he wants to talk to them and maybe move on, he is not an AFCB fan he's a professional footballer and he is currently employed by us, if he can get more money and realise his dream of playing in the top division quicker with another club then that's his prerogative, it is a short career after all. Personally i like the lad, think he's come a long way since he joined us and always puts in an honest shift in but if he goes so be it, that's the way it is. Eddie will bring someone else in and life at Dean Court will carry on.

This is the comment I generally agree with most. .Just because you work for one employer does not stop your wishing to look for an “upgrade” in life. Show me the person who wouldn’t. That doesn’t stop the desire to be happy with all connected with the present job and try as hard as you can to deliver. It just means you want to move on to different challenges. I think in football, belonging to a “club” has a sense of hidden meaning that is perceived as being disloyal if someone chooses to leave. Mere mortals who just go to work are not perceived like this perhaps. Grabban is just going to work- perhaps for a different company. That’s all. Good luck to him.

I agree with you both, its not as if he agitated for a move, Brighton approached the Club and given the short career span of any professional sportsman who wouldn't explore the possibilities. I hope that he stays, at least for the rest of this Season, if not good luck to him.

Fully agree with you CourtSide and don't particularly blame Grabbs for this situation.

However what I REALLY don't like is, if the Seagulls can't make a deal with him is the way that some of the bigger clubs in the league are circling like vultures! i.e. If Reading or QPR buy him will they actually play him much or bench him for most of the time thus depriving us of a player. This seems to be the way the way some Premiership clubs operate, food for thought for Lewis.

Finally if Lewis is on the pitch today ad gives his usual100% he will have my full support.

Agree 100% no one can blame him . My only concern is , if Eddie doesn't replace him in the near future , we will fall into the drop zone .
